SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 1G-

IT SEEMS to be conceded that Mr.. Carlisle
will be reelected Speaker Of the next I. 5.
House of Representatives. He has been
honest, capable, efficient and fair, as the
presiding officer of the House, and as he is
a good democrat, aud as the democrats have
majority in the House, he deserves to be
re. elected, aud DOUBTLESS will be. But it
should be understood beforehand that the
democratic majority in the House was
elected because of its democratic principles,
and that low tariff is one Of the cardinal
PRINCIPLES of democracy, and that as DEM
ocratic House can not be ran on democraVlc
principles with prominent protectionists IN
charge of its leading committees, Mr.. Ran
dali must not be put at the head of its next
appropriations committee.

THE RECENT probably fatal attempt to
murder member of the Illinois legislature
was the result, it is asserted by Chicago
newspapers, Of deliberately planned
scheme, of a regularly organized band OF an
arclists, to murder every man who may OBJ
struct the escape of their condemned fel-
lows, and to wreak vengeance upon CHI
cago if all hope of such escape be lost. There
is nothing new under the sun, and now, as
always, all that rascals need to be hanged
is enough rope. It would seam that the
attempt referred to, in q city of libeEty-lov-
iug America, would be sufficient to eliminate
anarchism from that city by the shortest
and most effectual method.

IT Is a demonstrated fact that never be-
fore in the worlds history has capital been
satisfied with so little profit, labor received
such high wages, have the hours of labor
been so few, WAGES had as great puvchas-
ing power, and laborers received so large a
percentage of the joint pref: Of capital and
labor az now, in this country. There may
be, and doubtless are, particular exceptions
to taia statement, but generally its truth is
in list IL able In view OF this fact, the late
ana prevailing extensive strikes seem to be
more than passing strange.

The p,otectionists point to the difference
in the wages of carpenters and bricklayers
in this country aud in England, and say be-
hold the result Of a protective tariff.
But such talk is an insult to the In

latter having had the advantages OF
free schools and cheap newspapers, not
only know that the labor of American car
enters and bricklayers is not protected by
thu tariff, but that the cheapest American
labor is that employed in mines aud facto-
ries-the most protected industries in the

Died at His Post,

Some time last fall well known huntsman
mere lost very valuable pointer dog near
Big Sewlckley, and the most strenuous exer-
uons made to find the animal proved fruit
less so finally he was given up as hopelessly
lost Last Monday the owner of the dog, in
company with three other gentlemen, were
travelling through a section of the Big Sc
wlckIey woods, when they came across the
skeleton of dog in attitude, the left forepaw
raised and the tail sticking out straight as
ramrod, the bones being held in position by
the sun dried cords and sinews The collar
around the neck established beyond a doubt
that the remains were those of the long lost
Leo, and further search brought to view,
about rod from the dogs nose, the bones
and feathers of a pheasant. The mystery
now became clear as day. With the wonder
full and inscrutable instinct that controls
birds and brutes, the pheasant had lain per-
due, afraid to rise, while the dog, like the
Roman sentry at Pompeii, had died at his
post OF duty. The hunter exhibits the re-
covered collar as proof positive of the truth

ILL-REQUITED CLEMENCY.

Among the many recipients of the
Royal clemency at the late Jubilee birth
day was Hiram \. Bridges, the slayer of
L. r. Patten, at Honolulu. The partic-
ulars of the case need not be repeated.
They are familiar to all old residents.
Bridges, it appears, was interceded for by
-. F. Rowland of St. Louis, who visited
this country in 1885, but it was not until
the Jubilee celebration that he was par
dnnad. Instead OF being grateful for the
Royal clemency he is posing as a martyr
and injured person, whose ''sufferings in
Louis correspondent in the New York
Times" Bridges, as reported by this
correspondent, says:
is soon as sentence was passed l was
taken To prison and put to work on a
dredger in the river. At ; o'clock in the
morning the convicts were called UP and
taken out to work under guard, returning
at 80 in the afternoon, when they were

upon which day we were allowed to mend

thrust into a dark cell and compelled to

making Sunday the most miserable day

OF his prison management. Road gangs,

TREATY AFTERMATH.

The news from Washington evidently
had stimulating effect upon the Diplo-
matte Corps yesterday, because the For
eign Office was VI ted by Major j. H.
Wodehouse, II. Il. Ms Commissioner,
and Mon Henri Feer, French Commits
sioner, early in the forenoon. These
gentlemen, We understand, had a length
ened interview with his Excellency the
Foreign Minister. As the policy of the
Hawaiian Government in reference to
the cessiOn or occupation of any port or
harbor of the Kingdom by any foreign
Power has not changed in the least de-
gree, it is fair 20 assume that satiSfaC-
tory assurances were given. The prompt
ness with which foreign representatives
acted shows that their respective Gov
ernments are not Indifferent to what
transpires in Hawaii. Those who speak
md write SO glibly of the cession OfPearl
Iarbor forget that this is an independent
country with an established government
having Diplomatic and Consular repre-
5entatives throughout the world, and
that its rights and wishes have first to
be considered in such a matter. Pearl
HarbOr is not private estate. 1t is
national property, and as such must be
conserved in the national interest. The
question as to whether that harbOr has
heretofore been utilized for commercial
purposes is not germane. When the
l.,-,Ic- 4
for agricultural purposes instead of rails
ing stock as at present, its facilities for
the shipment OF produce will be taken
advantage OF, but very large eXpendi-
ture must be gone to before it can posi-
bly, be utilized for deep sea-going vessels
like Honolulu Harbor. For the coasting
trade it will suffice for all local require
ments, and that is the most that can be
said about it at present. Our own judg-
nent. is that Honolulu will always re-
main the leading port of these islands
unless it should be ruined by stupidity
and neglect. The territory surrounding
earl Harbor may be easily tapped by
: narrOw-gauge road from Honolulu, and
' e have little doubt that snch road will
J constructed at no very remote date.
Meanwhile the Hawaiian Government
will not make any territorial concession
to any foreign power, and without its
own consent its territorial integrity
never will be violated, despite a contrary
opinion by American journalists and
others who should know better,

James CREiII.

1t is not generally known that James
Cahill, the notorious One-armed prison
er, was sent away to the Colonies by
the steamship Mararoa on July 10, 1886.
On July Is, 1885, he was found guilty of
the larceny of boat. While Mr.. JUS
tice BickertOn was sentencing him he
suddenly reached out with his right
hand and struck Mr.. J. NJ Monsarrat,
the lawyer, frightful blow in the face.
For the larceny of the boat he was fined
$50 and 81 80 costs. On the dav fol-
lowing he was brought up on two charges
contempt of Court and assault and
battery on J. NJ. Monsarrat For the
latter Offense he was sent on the reef
for two months, and fined $50 for the
contempt. This troubled him very little
indeed. He was most refractory pris-
oner and had often to be placed in a
dark cell. He managed to work out
his two months for assault and his fine
for stealing the boat. With regard to
his fine of $50 for contempt it is pretty
well understood that some persons in
town who were afraid If him offered to
pay it on condition that he left the coun-
try. He accepted the offer and left as
above stated. His parents reside in

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL'S RES!G-
NATION.

An English society paper accounts for
Lord Randolph Churchill's resignation
from the Salisbury Cabinet in way
very different from what he would have
the British public believe. 1t is said
that he was threatened to be made CO.
respondent in a divorce suit about to be
instituted by Lord Brooke, heir to the
Earl Of Warwick and Brooke, against his
wife. 1t is said that the string of core
spOndents in this case Will be an I'M
usually long one, and that Lord Ran
dolph Churchill hoped upon resigning to
arrange matters 80 that he would be left
out Of the list He breads the fate CT

worked very theoretically on his own be-
half. 1t will be remembered that his
brother. the Duke of Marlborough, fig
ured in the recent Campbell divorce
suit, as we'll a. being correspondent in
the Aylesford divorce case. Equally dis
gushing revelations are promised in the
coming Brooke divorce trial. OF course
this may be SANDER upon the late
Chancellor OF the Exchequer, but the
statement is circumstantially made.
